 EDITOR JouRxAL-MuvR$ $In your Taper of last Tuesday, you make men, ton of claim presented by me to the board of supervisors of your county. fr the expenses incurred in surveying ti'e boundary line between A0have and favapai counties, seemingly sp- proving of its disallowance, on the ground that had already received e5OO from Mohave county You evidently misunderstood the facts of the ease, which are as follows:
 ! Immediately after the appointment of c. B. Foster, he advised me that he would represent Yavspai county st the survey, st the same time requesting me to hire suitable team, teamster, two Chlnamen, one axman, one cook and . saoldle-horse, e it would be cheaper to hirc the whole outfit here, and take them to Peach Springs, than it would to hire half here and half at Prescott, agreing at the same time that Yava- l pal county would pay half of the ex- pense. On receipt of this letter, hired team, men and saddle-hosse, and noti- fled him of the fact, e we'll as of the price agreed to pay for services of team. horse and men, per day. asking him to answer without delay whether os not arrangements were satisfactory In his answer, next day, he stated that everything was satisfactory, and to be sure and bring provisions for all hands for two weeks, which did. During the progress of the survey we had to hire an extra team to haul water, for which l also paid. After inishing the survey. MT. Foster and myself made up ac- counts, and found that had paid out as follows: For team, teamster and cook, IA
 days, at $S per day .-...-. .ell2 % For ssddle-horse, for IA days, at
 90 cents per day 7OOI For men, at <4 per day each,
 IA days each. ..... 16S co For provisions for the outfit. ... 42 45 | For barley for saddle-horse. 3 % For extra water team. m.... 10 co |
 Total. .. .33la A5 |
 c. B. Foster mad not paid out one | cent on the whole trip. l.. of course, expected him to pay his half of the ex- penses. amounting to $l7l2st, to me before we parted; instead of which, he told me that he would present the claim to the bosd of supervison of Yavapai county at their first regular meeting, which would be on the frst Monday in July, draw the money, and forward the same to me.
 l saw that c. B. had played . little sharp practice, to make me foot all | the bills for the time being, so said no more atout 1t, but awaited for July and the meeting of the Board. Not being able to hear from c. B. Foster, or anything about the bill, and Mir Sseen, sheriff of this county, having occasion to go to Prescott on or about the 9th of July, l gave Mir. steen an order on Tester for the amount. As C. B. Eos ter was not at Prescott at the time, Nr. Steen handed the order to his (Foster's) brother, William C., who forw Arded the same to (. B. Foster at Jerome. and the following is his answer, verbatim:
 "l personally owe nothing to Mr. kuencef; the two counties pay the expense of the survey. Yavapai coun- ty paid me slO per day. in warrants. for l3 d,ys-$l3O, and travelling ex- "pensss to and from the line Mr. Ks "claim is against the counties, not me"
 "C. B. FOSTER"
 On receipt of this letter, sent in the bill against Yavapai county. which your beard of supervisors disalIowed.
 Now, as for the $500 which received from this county, I made contract with our board to represent Mohave county. for the sum of $500, in warrants on the general fund, to pay all ex- penses. My share of the expense is the one half of the $342.l5 and my travelling expenses from here to the line.
 Now, MT. Editor, will you kindly in- inform me who owes me the other half of the $S42 45, which I psid out of my pocket!
 Now, to sum up my financial stand ing on the trip so far: $500 in Nohave county general fund warrants, worth 75 cents on the dollar-$375; expense account for team, men and provisions, $342. 2.45; travelling expenses to the line, and expenses at Peach Springs, $a2; 3 water kegs, a; l barrel, @. Total amount paid out, &369.45. Which leaves me net profit of $5.55.
 Now, somebody, MT. Editor, owes me $l7l-224, and I am going to find out who it is. c. B. Fosters balance on the creditors side evidently reads diff ferent; &l30 per diem and (Foster knows how much he was allowed, l don,D for expenses.
 By publishing the above facts you will greatly oblige o. F. KuKxcKR-
 Juoti0oo of the Pooe0.
